Purpose: Gain an understanding and appreciation of the role of orchestration in music and the creative use of sampled sound.

Objectives: At the end of the field trip, students will be able to:

Describe orchestration

Explain the importance of orchestration

Recognize the creative possibilities of using sampled sounds in orchestration

Sampling (using recorded sounds as instruments) plays a big role in music arrangement. On this field trip, your students will hear classical music 'performed' by animals. This exercise is designed to illustrate the creative possibilities of using sampled sounds as instruments.
